The main goal of the project is to investigate why female employees score lower on Organizational Work Engagement Survey and report lower scores in job satisfaction, career advancement opportunities and committment. The sample that i studies was a group of professionals in a multinational company.
We can see that for the most part, men and women are represend across all locations except for Great Britain and Southeren US, where we see more men, but we also see more women in Mexico. Therefore there are no stark differences here.
It looks like this is a top heavy organization where majority of employees are executives or senior executives. Based on the gender per level breakdown, there are more women at the very bottom of organization than men; approximately same amount of women as men at the mid-levels, and little to no women at the very top.
Comparing Female to Male Talent at the mid levels we can see that there is practically no difference between quality of work and judged potential of men and women, howeve men who are at the very top have almost twice as much organizational experience.
Looks like in the last three quarters of 2018 Women were promoted at higher rate than men, but that trend has changed in 2019 where women started getting promoted at a lower rate than men.
Looks like there is no clear turnover trend based on gender.
Looks like we can’t single out one specific group in terms of a particularly strong trend. However, looks like Design and Insights have lower promotion rate for women.
Looks like the feedback given to men is about “work”, “develop”, “think”. “opportunity” and also “team” etc., whereas the most frequent word mentioned in a feedback to women is “team”. This suggests that there may still bias operating that women are more “communal” and therefore must be concerned about teams.
Perhaps, we can get a deeper insight by looking at bigrams for each gender.
Based on the bigrams, looks like the direct reports of both, female and male managers mention cross-functional and different types of teams, however male managers also get non-team related bigrams, such as “knowledge base”, “short term” and “bigger picture”, where women mostly get “people” related “non team” phrases, such as “direct reports” and “functional partenrs” further lending some support to the earlier hypothesis.
